Friday, February 23, 1951 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE 3 Ann Ul LfD Powerful Sooners Favored Over Husker Tracksters There is no rest for the vic torious. Coach Ed Weir and his Nebraska tracksters, with only a two-day breather from their rout of Kansas State Wednesday night, play hosts to the powerful Oklahoma Sooners Saturday night. The Weirmen, counting the Wildcats as their fourth victim in fivs starts, face the darkhorse of the Big Seven Indoor meet. The Saturday dual in Memorial Sta dium will be the last competi tion for the thinclads until the conference meet in Kansas City March 2, 3. The Sooners readied themselves lor the Husker encounter last Saturday by blasting the defend big indoor champions, Kansas Jayhawks, to the tune of 72-32. 4 te ' BLAKE CATHRO . . . sees double action in both hurdle events in the Nebraska-Oklahoma tussle Saturday night. Seek Grid Televising A resolution has been offered In the state legislature asking that Nebraska televise its home football games. Senators Charles Tvrdik, Wil liam Moulton and John P. Mc Knight introduced the bill Thurs day. Tvrdik had stated several days ago that he wanted to take the necessary steps requiring the university to allow its home games to be televised as was done in the past two years. But the resolution was recon sidered and finally it was drafted to ask "that the university do everything possible to obtain per mission of the Big Seven confer ence to permit television." The resolution further asked that copies of it be sent to legis latures in Iowa, Missouri, Kan sas," Oklahoma and Colorado. These states comprise the other schools in the Big Seven. It also asked that copies be sent to the presidents of other conference schools. Televising the games is re quired because all the Nebraska football fans can not see the games at Memorial Stadium since size, distance from the stadium and other physical difficulties do not permit "AH loyal Nebraskans like to see their university team in ac tion on the gridiron," the reso lution stated, "and some may do this only by the medium of tel evision." University authorities had dis agreed with Tvrdik. They main tained they are only cooperating with the policy set down by the National Collegoate Athletic asso ciation to prohibit televising col lege sports on a one year tfial test to see how it gate receipts.

A AROUND THE LOOP... . Big Seven Called Tough Cage Area Bjr Shirley Murphy Wayne Tucker, Califomian ! style among Big Seven coaches, olavine for Colorado, has a com- Phog Allen gave a good demon- pliment for the Midwest, at least its basketball. "Tuck" thinks the Big Seven is one of the nation's toughest areas for cage player. He hails from San Marino, Cal ifornia. Currently third highest scorer In the Big Seven, he has sent 237 points through the nets this season. In 19 games, "Tuck" has a 34 shooting average from the floor and 75 from the jcharity line. He has great regard for Kan sas. He says the Jayhawk sta ' dium at Lawrence is the finest he has ever played in. One rea son being that the Kansas floor reminds him of Colorado and makes him feel at home. He thinks that K-Staters Ernie Bar rett and Jack Stone are two of the toughest men to score against toe has men in three years of col ige play. Bench tactics reem quite in The Okies marked themselves up beside six records in that meet while toying with the Kan sans. Early Indications point to the Sooners being favored to topple the Huskers despite the good showing of the Nebraskans to date. Coach Weir fears the Sooners mostly in the 440-yard dash. The 1 n v a d e rs have tremendGus strength in that event along with veteran performers in the dis tances and field events. To offset this decided Sooner advantage, Coach Weir has been making several changes. To match the Oklahoma 440 entries of Jerry Meader and Charles Coleman, he is putting Bill Hein, Bob Barchus and Jack Scoville in the quarter. Record-breaker Hobe Jones will see double-duty Saturday. He is scheduled to run both the 880 and the mile. Hobe's best time of 1:57.3 which he turned in against Kansas Statet will get severe test from Don Crabtree and George McCormick. Crab- tree turned in a 1:57.6 against the Jays. Also slated to see 880 duty for the Scarlet are Gene Yelkin and Dale Schnackle. In the mile it will be Jones, Ken Jacobs and Yelkin against Jim Wilkinson, the Sooner flash, In the hurdles, Coach Weir will string along with Huskers Don Bedker, Dan Tolman and Blake Cathro. Timber-topper Wendy Cole is still out of action, but may be ready to go for the league meet. Ken Jacobs and Bob Kruger will be the NU one-two men in the long one, the two-mile run They will be pitted against Sooner Bruce Drummond. Four Huskers are tentatively set for action in the 60-yard dash. They are Lee Alexander, Leonard Kehl, Sheldon Jacobs, and Irving Thode. They will have to face the three Okies who swept that event against Kansas, Quanah Cox, Don Sobo cinski and Jimmy Smith. Vault to Huskers In the pole vault, the Huskers are expecting no competition as usual. Nebraska's Don Cooper and Len Kehl are favored to fin ish one-two in this event as they have all year. The Sooners will be out for points in the high jump with Dick Jones and Tom Churchill both hitting consistantly over 6-2. Husker Dick Meissner will have to go on high to win this one. In the shot and broad jump, the Sooners also have the ad vantage although the Scarlet jumpers of Irv Thode and Glenn Beerline will have plenty to say. The meet is scheduled to get under way at 6 p.m. Saturday to allow fans to see both it and the basketball game. BILL CLAY . . .

The Iowa State varsity fencing team is one of the members of a triangle conference who will ap ply to Amateur Fencer League of America for a charter. Two sabre groups, Iowa State, and Iowa Uni versity, and Don Durand, YWCA fencing instructor, hope to create an Iowa Chapter of the fencing organization.

Walker Fights Louis Tonight Former heavyweight champion Joe Louis and San Francisan Andy Walker are expetced to fight before a $95,000 gate In the Cow Palace Friday night. Louis ended training Wednes day at nearby Travis Air Force Base where he sparred six rounds before some 4,700 airmen. He weighted 210 pounds. Walker, California state heavy weight champ, also ended his workouts. He weighed 197 pounds. The ex-champion is heavily fa vored to win the 10-rounder. Meanwhile, promoter Bill Kyne announced he would bid $500,000 for a San Francisco title match between Louis and heavyweight champion Ezzard Charles. EvScArthur, Shatter 1 - Scoring records were smashed and then ground to dust Wednes day night in intramural basket ball play. Newman Club. Phi Delta Phi, Jack Walentine and Don McArthur all took good care of the previous marks. The old records of 83 points by a team in one game and 38 points by one player In one con test met decisive deaths. Newman Club started the ball rolling or probably it was fly ing by running up a 96-17 score on the Methodist Student House. They rolled to 24 points in the first quarter, 21 in the second, roared to 29 in the third and finished off -with 22-in the finale. The Methodists, a good cage outfit, were just powerless to halt the rampaging Catholics once they got going. Out for a Record Newman was definitely out for a record as the Catholic first string played the entire game while the Methodists subbed freely. Jack Walentine of the Catho lics established a new individ ual record by netting 20 field goals and one free toss for 41 markers, surpassing the old mark by three set by Woody Bohn of the Lutheran Student House in 1950. Neil Campbell tallied 20 points for Newman Club as runner-up. Glen Carter garnered a third of the Methodist points with six. There was some consolation for the Methodists, however. The Newman men were out to topple the one-hundred mark and had an excellent chance to do it. The losers, seeing at least one goal to strive for, played control ball for the last three minutes and ac complished their feat. Walentine set his record at six o'clock. He owned it for about three hours. McArthur Hits Don McArthur, - spearhead of the Phi Delta Phi lawyers, went point-happy in the 8 p. m. bat tle between the PDPhi's and Phi Alpha Delta and shoved the rec ord over the half-hundred mark. McArthur scored 81 points in that game. . .Thirty-one markers fell his way in the second half of that fray as the lawyers were out for records also. McArthur got his but his team fell short of the Catholic total by five points. The final score was 91-19. The shysters potted 20 in both parts of the first half and then spurted to 27 and 24 markers in the last two quarters. Bill Wen ke ran second to McArthur with 20 points. Bob Harson and Ber nie Packett of the Paddies each counted four. One-Hour Record Jim Walsh of Sigma Phi Ep silon established the individual mark of 38 in a 7 p. m. game last February only to lose it an hour later when Bohn streaked j to 38. Walsh had eclipsed Dar rell Heiss's Farm House record of 31. Alpha Tau Omega owned the team scoring record until Wednesday, running up their 83 points against Sigma Alpha Mu last year. Other teams hooked-up in good basketball Wednesday. The Lutheran Student House climbed to second place in the Denominational league IX by stopping Presby House, 43-29. It was the sixth win for the Lu therans compared to two de feats, identical to Presby's rec ord. The Lutherans jumped to a D-6 first quarter lead and main tained it throughout the contest. Halftime s:ore was 22-14 In fa vor of LSA. Stauffer High Lee Stauffer of the victors took scoring honors in the con test with 16 points while mate Glen Johnson notched 12. Clark Betcke topped the Pres by scoring chart, getting 12 LJ Grapplers Seek Third Straight Win An improved band of Husker wrestlers meet Omaha university Friday night in tne coliseum, Coach Al Partin announced that his matmen are in top con dition for the match and is opti mistic about annexing the third straight Scarlet victory. .The Huskers defeated Kansas State and Iowa State m their last two duels. Darrell Adamson will make his first varsity appearance for Ne braska Friday night. Coach Par tin is sending this Cherokee, Iowa sophomore into the 130 pound fray. Adamson will re place Harold Gilliland, defending Big Seven champ, who is side lined by a back injury. Two other changes appear in the Huskers' regular lineup. Ken Brown returns to action in the 123-pound class. There is no contender listed on the Omaha roster at that weight to date, however. Perry Leitel rephces Bob Rus sell in the 137-potnd division. Al Johnson, senior letterman, will take the mat tor his second time this season it the 167 pound class. Johnsm drew with his Kansas State tdversary in his first outing.

Bill Noble, Grand-Island fresh men, indicated Wednesday that he will probably turn pro some time after participating in the Chicago Golden Gloves tourna ment next week. Noble was an end on the Husker frosh team last fall and was an All-State fullback and a teammate of Bobby Reynolds in 1947. Noble won the Midwest Golden Gloves heavyweight title for the second year in a row Saturday night and has lost only six of 75 fights during his career. Records place in league VI.

The Plamors and Ag Extension Annex hooked up in a tight bat tle with the Plamors finally win iing 29-27. It was win number eight for the Plamors against four defeats. The loss dropped the Annex down to a tie with the Plamors for third and fourth places in league X. The Dorm A stars kept atop league XIII by weathering the Nebraska Co-op basketball chal lenge. The final score read 40-28 in favor of the Stars. Alpha Sigma Phi ran up a 46 19 score on the Dental College Frosh Wednesday night. The win boosts the Alpha Sigs from fourth to second in league XI.

Cagers Can Climb to Fifth 1 With Win Over Colorado U Coach Harry Good will nrob ably, string along with the same starting lineup that upset Mis souri against the University of Colorado cagers Saturday night in his hunt for a combination which can consistently win ball games This starting five has Joe Good and Bernie Akromis at the for wards, Bob Pierce at center, and Jim Buchanan and Bob Mercier at the guards. The unit would have played the whole game against the Missouri Tigers except that Buchanan fouled out in the last few minutes of the game. The Saturday scrap while not billed as a championship con test will nevertheless allow one of two teams to pull out of the cellar. They are currenty tied for sixth and seventh places in the Big Seven. Both teams have a season record of two wins and six losses. The winner Saturday night will climb into a fifth and sixth place tie with the Iowa State Cyclones. Coach Good, and his squad are hoping for a repeat performance of last year's Nebraska-Colorado series when the Buffaloes beat Nebraska at Boulder but were de feated in Lincoln. Colorado defeated the Huskers, 51-45, on her home court in the first game this year. The Buffa loes had too much team scoring for the Goodmen m that tilt, Wayne Tucker collected 14 points while Jim Armatas and John Amaya both scored 12. But ve teran Bob Pierce topped both teams with 17 tallies. Tucker Tucker is currently the third high scorer in the conference. He has been the backbone of Coach H. B. Lee's team. He has a 34 shooting average from the floor and 75 on free throws. Tucker is noted for his aggressive play. Another stellar performer for the Buffaloes is senior Bill Clay. His six feet four inches are put to good use at one of the starting forward berths. Lee is taking his first crack as the Colorado head mentor. Before going to Buffalo he was basket ball coach at Utah State. Although they emerged victor ious over the Missourians, the Husker cagers failed to exhibit a consistently smooth floor game. But the stall in the dying mo ments of the game showed they could present a good passing and floor exhibition. All six men who participated in the Missouri game managed to get in on the scoring act. However, Pierce was the only man who was really hot. The other four starters were even up with seven points apiece. Pierce got twenty-five to continue his assault on "Bus" Whiteheads's record. Paul Kipper broke the scoring column with a free throw. The new Husker starting com bination has moved "Good " from his old guard berth to a for i, W fur ' I' - KENNY KOOP . . . most im proved Colorado player will have to be watched. r V .f f.

Mercier But the newest addition to the starting five, Bob Mercier, is the player who really shows a lot of hustle and energy. He prepried at Teachers College where he be came one of the outstanding players in Class "B" competition. But he proved that playing at a small school was no handicap at all when he won a place for him self on Tony Sharpe's frosh team along side of such Class "A" stal warts as Good, Bob Reynolds, Chuck Stickels, Ted Connor and Ron Roeder. His varsity debut was badly jolted when he hurt an ankle in practice and was forced to emit playing for several weeks. Mer- cier's passing and speed are ex cellent, while his shooting eye should add scoring punch to the Husker machine. Pierce will be the tallest man on either team and so will prob ably be able to cash in on his re bounding ability as well as in the scoring department. JIM WALSH . . . Scarlet eager, will be available for floor du ty against the Buffs. All Coed Counselor Inter views for Saturday morning are cancelled.
